RUGBY. LLWYNYPIA 8pts., TREHERBERT 0. This CHaffiorgan League match was played »i> the De Winton Ground on Saturday last. It was the first League matoiA for the homesters this season. Threw of tlie team were missing, having been nicked to assist the Glamorgan League against Monmouth. These three were Oriddle fcaptain), Mark Lewis (wing) and Bddia Phillips (outside half). Llwynv- pia were lucky in scoring shortly after play opened,- running over with a try, which Griff. Richards converted. The Visitors afterwards made determined efforts t. equalise, but threw away their cliaJKXfs, and although the homesteis were kandioapped for the greater part of the game through players receiving injuries, Treherbert failed to cross their line. Skapter the inside half, had his shoulder fractured, and Parsons, at one time 8* Bridgend forward, sprained his ankle, and both had to retire early in the first half. Llwynypia defended well, 17 and with the famous Hellings leading them, played pluckily to the end. In the second half, some pretty passing was witnessed, and the try scored by Geo. Uemollyn was one of the finest seen at Llwynypia this season. This consti- tuteci the third successive win for Llwynypia upon their own ground, and it is W hoped that, when next they go away to play, they will cariy this form witk them. TREOROHY OLD BOYS 4pts., PENY- GRAIG RESERVES 0. A fairly large crowd attended to wit- ness this oitcoutite,r, but there is no doubt that the Cwmpare match greatly affected the gate. White kicked off for Peuygraig, and PinkTiam returned with a, well-judged kick. Treorchy were now pressing well, and after a, good round of passing Roche missed a sure try. Penygraig were awarded a; penalty, and afterwards seemed to- buck up a little. Some fine tackling and corkscrew runs carried Tre- orchy within the visitors' line, but Alf. Hopkins missed scoring. Some good play was -exhibited by Penygraig, who were now marking all excellent fight. During the second moiety, Ireoicny carried play within the visitors' 25 line. Penygraig, however, drove them back, and after a fine bout of passing by tre- orchy, Will Jones neatly dropped a goal. Scrums were fairly numerous, and All. Hopkins was playing well. A kick sent the ball near Penygraig's line, and play for a time was carried on here, but Peny- graig pressed hard and sent the ball to touch near midfield. From now most of the play was witnessed within the home- sters' line, and play of a give-and-take character was indulged in until the whistle blew. Mr. C. R. Everson, Porth, was the referee. TRBHERBERT RESERVES 6pts., TREBANOG 0. At Treherbert in fine weather on Satur- day last, Trebanog R.F .0. met their masters for the first time this season in j Treheroort Reserves. Despite the fact that they were outclassed as regards weight and size, the Reserves played a plucky game and thoroughly deserved their victory.. „ Three points were scored against Tre- banog in the first half, W. H. Colwill dropping a grand goal from a point five yards inside his opponents' half, where a penalty had been awarded. Jim Lewis (Treherbert's wing) on one occasion made a great run, in which he beat six of the opposing players, and seemed to have the line at his mercy, when a visiting for- ward cut across the field and stopped his career. A splendid try was scored by the home team in the second moiety. Instead of kicking clear, w: H. Colwill (full-back) ran a, good distance and gave to Lloyd (wing). Finding himself hemmed in, the latter repassed to Colwill, who crossed with an unconverted try. Colwill (the home custodian) was the hero of the game. He played a brilliant individual game. The home wings, J. Lewis and J. Lloyd, were in great form.
